Linux kernel vhost since version 4.8 does not properly initialize memory in messages passed between virtual guests and the host operating system in the vhost/vhost.c:vhost_new_msg() function. This can allow local privileged users to read some kernel memory contents when reading from the /dev/vhost-net device file.

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz),     the core of any Linux operating system. The kernel     handles the basic functions of the operating system:
    memory allocation, process allocation, device input and     output, etc.Security Fix(es):The walk_hugetlb_range()     function in 'mm/pagewalk.c' file in the Linux kernel     from v4.0-rc1 through v4.15-rc1 mishandles holes in     hugetlb ranges. This allows local users to obtain     sensitive information from uninitialized kernel memory     via crafted use of the mincore() system     call.(CVE-2017-16994)In the Linux kernel before 4.7,     the amd_gpio_remove function in     drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-amd.c calls the     pinctrl_unregister function, leading to a double     free.(CVE-2017-18174)In the Linux kernel through     4.20.11, af_alg_release() in crypto/af_alg.c neglects     to set a NULL value for a certain structure member,     which leads to a use-after-free in     sockfs_setattr.(CVE-2019-8912)A security flaw was found     in the Linux kernel that an attempt to move page mapped     by AIO ring buffer to the other node triggers NULL     pointer dereference at trace_writeback_dirty_page(),     because aio_fs_backing_dev_info.dev is     0.(CVE-2016-3070)The NFSv4 implementation in the Linux     kernel through 4.11.1 allows local users to cause a     denial of service (resource consumption) by leveraging     improper channel callback shutdown when unmounting an     NFSv4 filesystem, aka a 'module reference and kernel     daemon' leak.(CVE-2017-9059)When creating audit records     for parameters to executed children processes, an     attacker can convince the Linux kernel audit subsystem     can create corrupt records which may allow an attacker     to misrepresent or evade logging of executing     commands.(CVE-2016-6136)A use-after-free vulnerability     was found in a network namespaces code affecting the     Linux kernel since v4.0-rc1 through v4.15-rc5. The     function get_net_ns_by_id() does not check for the     net::count value after it has found a peer network in     netns_ids idr which could lead to double free and     memory corruption. This vulnerability could allow an     unprivileged local user to induce kernel memory     corruption on the system, leading to a crash. Due to     the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be     fully ruled out, although it is thought to be     unlikely.(CVE-2017-15129)A NULL pointer dereference     flaw was found in the rds_ib_laddr_check() function in     the Linux kernel's implementation of Reliable Datagram     Sockets (RDS). A local, unprivileged user could use     this flaw to crash the system.(CVE-2013-7339)A flaw was     found in the Linux kernel key management subsystem in     which a local attacker could crash the kernel or     corrupt the stack and additional memory (denial of     service) by supplying a specially crafted RSA key. This     flaw panics the machine during the verification of the     RSA key.(CVE-2016-8650)The uio_mmap_physical function     in drivers/uio/uio.c in the Linux kernel before 3.12     does not validate the size of a memory block, which     allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory     corruption) or possibly gain privileges via crafted     mmap operations, a different vulnerability than     CVE-2013-4511.(CVE-2013-6763)In the Linux kernel before     4.20.5, attackers can trigger a     drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c use-after-free and     OOPS by arranging for certain simultaneous execution of     the code, as demonstrated by a 'service ipmievd     restart' loop.(CVE-2019-9003)An integer overflow flaw     was found in the way the Linux kernel randomized the     stack for processes on certain 64-bit architecture     systems, such as x86-64, causing the stack entropy to     be reduced by four.(CVE-2015-1593)The     compat_sys_recvmmsg function in net/compat.c in the     Linux kernel before 3.13.2, when CONFIG_X86_X32 is     enabled, allows local users to gain privileges via a     recvmmsg system call with a crafted timeout pointer     parameter.(CVE-2014-0038)The kill_something_info     function in kernel/signal.c in the Linux kernel before     4.13, when an unspecified architecture and compiler is     used, might allow local users to cause a denial of     service via an INT_MIN     argument.(CVE-2018-10124)arch/s390/kernel/head64.S in     the Linux kernel before 3.13.5 on the s390 platform     does not properly handle attempted use of the linkage     stack, which allows local users to cause a denial of     service (system crash) by executing a crafted     instruction.(CVE-2014-2039)A flaw was found in the     Linux kernel in that the aoedisk_debugfs_show()     function in drivers/block/aoe/aoeblk.c allows local     users to obtain some kernel address information by     reading a debugfs file. This address is not useful to     commit a further attack.(CVE-2018-7754)ALSA sequencer     core initializes the event pool on demand by invoking     snd_seq_pool_init() when the first write happens and     the pool is empty. A user can reset the pool size     manually via ioctl concurrently, and this may lead to     UAF or out-of-bound access.(CVE-2018-7566)In the     function wmi_set_ie(), the length validation code does     not handle unsigned integer overflow properly. As a     result, a large value of the 'ie_len' argument can     cause a buffer overflow in all Android releases from     CAF (Android for MSM, Firefox OS for MSM, QRD Android)     using the Linux Kernel.(CVE-2018-5848)The Linux kernel     does not properly initialize memory in messages passed     between virtual guests and the host operating system in     the vhost/vhost.c:vhost_new_msg() function. This can     allow local privileged users to read some kernel memory     contents when reading from the /dev/vhost-net device     file.(CVE-2018-1118)Systems with microprocessors     utilizing speculative execution and speculative     execution of memory reads before the addresses of all     prior memory writes are known may allow unauthorized     disclosure of information to an attacker with local     user access via a side-channel analysis, aka     Speculative Store Bypass (SSB), Variant     4.(CVE-2018-3639)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     4.19. An information leak in cdrom_ioctl_select_disc in     drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c could be used by local attackers     to read kernel memory because a cast from unsigned long     to int interferes with bounds checking. This is similar     to CVE-2018-10940 and CVE-2018-16658.(CVE-2018-18710)

  - A flaw was found in mmap in the Linux kernel allowing     the process to map a null page. This allows attackers     to abuse this mechanism to turn null pointer     dereferences into workable exploits.(CVE-2019-9213)

  - The Linux kernel does not properly initialize memory in     messages passed between virtual guests and the host     operating system in the vhost/vhost.c:vhost_new_msg()     function. This can allow local privileged users to read     some kernel memory contents when reading from the     /dev/vhost-net device file.(CVE-2018-1118)

  - It was found that the raw midi kernel driver does not     protect against concurrent access which leads to a     double realloc (double free) in     snd_rawmidi_input_params() and     snd_rawmidi_output_status() which are part of     snd_rawmidi_ioctl() handler in rawmidi.c file. A     malicious local attacker could possibly use this for     privilege escalation.(CVE-2018-10902)

  - A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's USB     subsystem in the __usb_get_extra_descriptor() function     in the drivers/usb/core/usb.c which mishandles a size     check during the reading of an extra descriptor data.
    By using a specially crafted USB device which sends a     forged extra descriptor, an unprivileged user with     physical access to the system can potentially cause a     privilege escalation or trigger a system crash or lock     up and thus to cause a denial of service     (DoS).(CVE-2018-20169)

  - In the function wmi_set_ie() in the Linux kernel the     length validation code does not handle unsigned integer     overflow properly. As a result, a large value of the     aEUR~ie_lenaEURtm argument can cause a buffer overflow and     thus a memory corruption leading to a system crash or     other or unspecified impact. Due to the nature of the     flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out,     although we believe it is unlikely.(CVE-2018-5848)

  - A new software page cache side channel attack scenario     was discovered in operating systems that implement the     very common 'page cache' caching mechanism. A malicious     user/process could use 'in memory' page-cache knowledge     to infer access timings to shared memory and gain     knowledge which can be used to reduce effectiveness of     cryptographic strength by monitoring algorithmic     behavior, infer access patterns of memory to determine     code paths taken, and exfiltrate data to a blinded     attacker through page-granularity access times as a     side-channel.(CVE-2019-5489)

  - A security flaw was found in the Linux kernel in a way     that the cleancache subsystem clears an inode after the     final file truncation (removal). The new file created     with the same inode may contain leftover pages from     cleancache and the old file data instead of the new     one.(CVE-2018-16862)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

  - CVE-2018-1120: By mmap()ing a FUSE-backed file onto a     process's memory containing command line arguments (or     environment strings), an attacker could have caused     utilities from psutils or procps (such as ps, w) to     block indefinitely (denial of service) or for some     controlled time (as a synchronization primitive for     other attacks) (bsc#1093158)

  - CVE-2018-1094: The ext4_fill_super function did not     always initialize the crc32c checksum driver, which     allowed attackers to cause a denial of service     (ext4_xattr_inode_hash NULL pointer dereference and     system crash) via a crafted ext4 image (bsc#1087007)

  - CVE-2018-1092: The ext4_iget function mishandled the     case of a root directory with a zero i_links_count,     which allowed attackers to cause a denial of service     (ext4_process_freed_data NULL pointer dereference and     OOPS) via a crafted ext4 image (bsc#1087012)

  - 1093: The ext4_valid_block_bitmap function allowed     attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds     read and system crash) via a crafted ext4 image because     balloc.c and ialloc.c do not validate bitmap block     numbers (bsc#1087095)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2018-4304 advisory.

  - In the function wmi_set_ie(), the length validation code does not handle unsigned integer overflow     properly. As a result, a large value of the 'ie_len' argument can cause a buffer overflow in all Android     releases from CAF (Android for MSM, Firefox OS for MSM, QRD Android) using the Linux Kernel.
    (CVE-2018-5848)

  - The xfs_dinode_verify function in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_inode_buf.c in the Linux kernel through 4.16.3 allows     local users to cause a denial of service (xfs_ilock_attr_map_shared invalid pointer dereference) via a     crafted xfs image. (CVE-2018-10322)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.19. An information leak in cdrom_ioctl_select_disc     in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c could be used by local attackers to read kernel memory because a cast from     unsigned long to int interferes with bounds checking. This is similar to CVE-2018-10940 and     CVE-2018-16658. (CVE-2018-18710)

  - An issue was discovered in the fd_locked_ioctl function in drivers/block/floppy.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.15.7. The floppy driver will copy a kernel pointer to user memory in response to the FDGETPRM     ioctl. An attacker can send the FDGETPRM ioctl and use the obtained kernel pointer to discover the     location of kernel code and data and bypass kernel security protections such as KASLR. (CVE-2018-7755)

  - The unimac_mdio_probe function in drivers/net/phy/mdio-bcm-unimac.c in the Linux kernel through 4.15.8     does not validate certain resource availability, which allows local users to cause a denial of service     (NULL pointer dereference). (CVE-2018-8043)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Security Fix(es) :

  - A flaw named FragmentSmack was found in the way the     Linux kernel handled reassembly of fragmented IPv4 and     IPv6 packets. A remote attacker could use this flaw to     trigger time and calculation expensive fragment     reassembly algorithm by sending specially crafted     packets which could lead to a CPU saturation and hence a     denial of service on the system.

The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2018-3083 advisory.

  - The get_rock_ridge_filename function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.5 mishandles NM     (aka alternate name) entries containing \0 characters, which allows local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted isofs filesystem.
    (CVE-2016-4913)

  - Race condition in fs/timerfd.c in the Linux kernel before 4.10.15 allows local users to gain privileges or     cause a denial of service (list corruption or use-after-free) via simultaneous file-descriptor operations     that leverage improper might_cancel queueing. (CVE-2017-10661)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in the snd_pcm_info function in the ALSA subsystem in the Linux kernel allows     attackers to gain privileges via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2017-0861)

  - Integer overflow in the aio_setup_single_vector function in fs/aio.c in the Linux kernel 4.0 allows local     users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a large AIO iovec. NOTE:
    this vulnerability exists because of a CVE-2012-6701 regression. (CVE-2015-8830)

  - In the Linux Kernel before version 4.15.8, 4.14.25, 4.9.87, 4.4.121, 4.1.51, and 3.2.102, an error in the
    _sctp_make_chunk() function (net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c) when handling SCTP packets length can be     exploited to cause a kernel crash. (CVE-2018-5803)

  - Linux kernel before version 4.16-rc7 is vulnerable to a null pointer dereference in dccp_write_xmit()     function in net/dccp/output.c in that allows a local user to cause a denial of service by a number of     certain crafted system calls. (CVE-2018-1130)

  - The udl_fb_mmap function in drivers/gpu/drm/udl/udl_fb.c at the Linux kernel version 3.4 and up to and     including 4.15 has an integer-overflow vulnerability allowing local users with access to the udldrmfb     driver to obtain full read and write permissions on kernel physical pages, resulting in a code execution     in kernel space. (CVE-2018-8781)

  - The timer_create syscall implementation in kernel/time/posix-timers.c in the Linux kernel before 4.14.8     doesn't properly validate the sigevent->sigev_notify field, which leads to out-of-bounds access in the     show_timer function (called when /proc/$PID/timers is read). This allows userspace applications to read     arbitrary kernel memory (on a kernel built with CONFIG_POSIX_TIMERS and CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE).
    (CVE-2017-18344)

  - The Linux kernel, versions 3.9+, is vulnerable to a denial of service attack with low rates of specially     modified packets targeting IP fragment re-assembly. An attacker may cause a denial of service condition by     sending specially crafted IP fragments. Various vulnerabilities in IP fragmentation have been discovered     and fixed over the years. The current vulnerability (CVE-2018-5391) became exploitable in the Linux kernel     with the increase of the IP fragment reassembly queue size. (CVE-2018-5391)

  - The inode_init_owner function in fs/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16 allows local users to create     files with an unintended group ownership, in a scenario where a directory is SGID to a certain group and     is writable by a user who is not a member of that group. Here, the non-member can trigger creation of a     plain file whose group ownership is that group. The intended behavior was that the non-member can trigger     creation of a directory (but not a plain file) whose group ownership is that group. The non-member can     escalate privileges by making the plain file executable and SGID. (CVE-2018-13405)

  - The Salsa20 encryption algorithm in the Linux kernel before 4.14.8 does not correctly handle zero-length     inputs, allowing a local attacker able to use the AF_ALG-based skcipher interface     (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_SKCIPHER) to cause a denial of service (uninitialized-memory free and kernel     crash) or have unspecified other impact by executing a crafted sequence of system calls that use the     blkcipher_walk API. Both the generic implementation (crypto/salsa20_generic.c) and x86 implementation     (arch/x86/crypto/salsa20_glue.c) of Salsa20 were vulnerable. (CVE-2017-17805)

  - The madvise_willneed function in mm/madvise.c in the Linux kernel before 4.14.4 allows local users to     cause a denial of service (infinite loop) by triggering use of MADVISE_WILLNEED for a DAX mapping.
    (CVE-2017-18208)

  - The Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.15.9 mishandles a mutex within     libsas, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) by triggering certain error-     handling code. (CVE-2017-18232)

  - The ext4_iget function in fs/ext4/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 4.15.15 mishandles the case of a     root directory with a zero i_links_count, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service     (ext4_process_freed_data NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) via a crafted ext4 image. (CVE-2018-1092)

  - In the function wmi_set_ie(), the length validation code does not handle unsigned integer overflow     properly. As a result, a large value of the 'ie_len' argument can cause a buffer overflow in all Android     releases from CAF (Android for MSM, Firefox OS for MSM, QRD Android) using the Linux Kernel.
    (CVE-2018-5848)

  - Memory leak in the sas_smp_get_phy_events function in drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.15.7 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via many read     accesses to files in the /sys/class/sas_phy directory, as demonstrated by the     /sys/class/sas_phy/phy-1:0:12/invalid_dword_count file. (CVE-2018-7757)

  - The xfs_dinode_verify function in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_inode_buf.c in the Linux kernel through 4.16.3 allows     local users to cause a denial of service (xfs_ilock_attr_map_shared invalid pointer dereference) via a     crafted xfs image. (CVE-2018-10322)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem. A local user can cause an out-of-bounds write and     a denial of service or unspecified other impact is possible by mounting and operating a crafted ext4     filesystem image. (CVE-2018-10878)

  - The ext4_fill_super function in fs/ext4/super.c in the Linux kernel through 4.15.15 does not always     initialize the crc32c checksum driver, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service     (ext4_xattr_inode_hash NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a crafted ext4 image.
    (CVE-2018-1094)

  - Linux kernel vhost since version 4.8 does not properly initialize memory in messages passed between     virtual guests and the host operating system in the vhost/vhost.c:vhost_new_msg() function. This can allow     local privileged users to read some kernel memory contents when reading from the /dev/vhost-net device     file. (CVE-2018-1118)

  - A flaw was found affecting the Linux kernel before version 4.17. By mmap()ing a FUSE-backed file onto a     process's memory containing command line arguments (or environment strings), an attacker can cause     utilities from psutils or procps (such as ps, w) or any other program which makes a read() call to the     /proc//cmdline (or /proc//environ) files to block indefinitely (denial of service) or for some     controlled time (as a synchronization primitive for other attacks). (CVE-2018-1120)

  - In the Linux kernel through 4.14.13, drivers/block/loop.c mishandles lo_release serialization, which     allows attackers to cause a denial of service (__lock_acquire use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified     other impact. (CVE-2018-5344)

  - The resv_map_release function in mm/hugetlb.c in the Linux kernel through 4.15.7 allows local users to     cause a denial of service (BUG) via a crafted application that makes mmap system calls and has a large     pgoff argument to the remap_file_pages system call. (CVE-2018-7740)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem. A local user can cause a use-after-free in     ext4_xattr_set_entry function and a denial of service or unspecified other impact may occur by renaming a     file in a crafted ext4 filesystem image. (CVE-2018-10879)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem. A local user can cause an out-of-bound access in     ext4_get_group_info function, a denial of service, and a system crash by mounting and operating on a     crafted ext4 filesystem image. (CVE-2018-10881)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem. A local user can cause an out-of-bounds write in     jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(), a denial of service, and a system crash by mounting and operating on a     crafted ext4 filesystem image. (CVE-2018-10883)

  - It was found that the raw midi kernel driver does not protect against concurrent access which leads to a     double realloc (double free) in snd_rawmidi_input_params() and snd_rawmidi_output_status() which are part     of snd_rawmidi_ioctl() handler in rawmidi.c file. A malicious local attacker could possibly use this for     privilege escalation. (CVE-2018-10902)

  - The cdrom_ioctl_media_changed function in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c in the Linux kernel before 4.16.6 allows     local attackers to use a incorrect bounds check in the CDROM driver CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED ioctl to read out     kernel memory. (CVE-2018-10940)

  - Linux Linux kernel version at least v4.8 onwards, probably well before contains a Insufficient input     validation vulnerability in bnx2x network card driver that can result in DoS: Network card firmware     assertion takes card off-line. This attack appear to be exploitable via An attacker on a must pass a very     large, specially crafted packet to the bnx2x card. This can be done from an untrusted guest VM..
    (CVE-2018-1000026)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3762-2 advisory.

  - The acpi_ns_evaluate() function in drivers/acpi/acpica/nseval.c in the Linux kernel through 4.12.9 does     not flush the operand cache and causes a kernel stack dump, which allows local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism (in the kernel through 4.9) via a     crafted ACPI table. (CVE-2017-13695)

  - Linux kernel vhost since version 4.8 does not properly initialize memory in messages passed between     virtual guests and the host operating system in the vhost/vhost.c:vhost_new_msg() function. This can allow     local privileged users to read some kernel memory contents when reading from the /dev/vhost-net device     file. (CVE-2018-1118)

Linux 4.9 has been packaged for Debian 8 as linux-4.9. This provides a supported upgrade path for systems that currently use kernel packages from the 'jessie-backports' suite.

There is no need to upgrade systems using Linux 3.16, as that kernel version will also continue to be supported in the LTS period.

This backport does not include the following binary packages :

hyperv-daemons libcpupower1 libcpupower-dev libusbip-dev linux-compiler-gcc-4.9-x86 linux-cpupower linux-libc-dev usbip

Older versions of most of those are built from other source packages in Debian 8.

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks.

CVE-2017-5753

Further instances of code that was vulnerable to Spectre variant 1 (bounds-check bypass) have been mitigated.

CVE-2017-18255

It was discovered that the performance events subsystem did not properly validate the value of the kernel.perf_cpu_time_max_percent sysctl. Setting a large value could have an unspecified security impact. However, only a privileged user can set this sysctl.

CVE-2018-1118

The syzbot software found that the vhost driver did not initialise message buffers which would later be read by user processes. A user with access to the /dev/vhost-net device could use this to read sensitive information from the kernel or other users' processes.

CVE-2018-1120

Qualys reported that a user able to mount FUSE filesystems can create a process such that when another process attempting to read its command line will be blocked for an arbitrarily long time. This could be used for denial of service, or to aid in exploiting a race condition in the other program.

CVE-2018-1130

The syzbot software found that the DCCP implementation of sendmsg() does not check the socket state, potentially leading to a NULL pointer dereference. A local user could use this to cause a denial of service (crash). 

CVE-2018-3639

Multiple researchers have discovered that Speculative Store Bypass (SSB), a feature implemented in many processors, could be used to read sensitive information from another context. In particular, code in a software sandbox may be able to read sensitive information from outside the sandbox. This issue is also known as Spectre variant 4.

This update allows the issue to be mitigated on some x86 processors by disabling SSB. This requires an update to the processor's microcode, which is non-free. It may be included in an update to the system BIOS or UEFI firmware, or in a future update to the intel-microcode or amd64-microcode packages.

Disabling SSB can reduce performance significantly, so by default it is only done in tasks that use the seccomp feature. Applications that require this mitigation should request it explicitly through the prctl() system call. Users can control where the mitigation is enabled with the spec_store_bypass_disable kernel parameter.

CVE-2018-5814

Jakub Jirasek reported race conditions in the USB/IP host driver. A malicious client could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption), and possibly to execute code, on a USB/IP server.

CVE-2018-10021

A physically present attacker who unplugs a SAS cable can cause a denial of service (memory leak and WARN).

CVE-2018-10087, CVE-2018-10124

zhongjiang found that the wait4() and kill() system call implementations did not check for the invalid pid value of INT_MIN. If a user passed this value, the behaviour of the code was formally undefined and might have had a security impact.

CVE-2018-10853

Andy Lutomirski and Mika Penttil&auml; reported that KVM for x86 processors did not perform a necessary privilege check when emulating certain instructions. This could be used by an unprivileged user in a guest VM to escalate their privileges within the guest.

CVE-2018-10876, CVE-2018-10877, CVE-2018-10878, CVE-2018-10879, CVE-2018-10880, CVE-2018-10881, CVE-2018-10882, CVE-2018-10883

Wen Xu at SSLab, Gatech, reported that crafted ext4 filesystem images could trigger a crash or memory corruption. A local user able to mount arbitrary filesystems, or an attacker providing filesystems to be mounted, could use this for denial of service or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2018-10940

Dan Carpenter reported that the optical disc driver (cdrom) does not correctly validate the parameter to the CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED ioctl. A user with access to a cdrom device could use this to cause a denial of service (crash).

CVE-2018-11506

Piotr Gabriel Kosinski and Daniel Shapira reported that the SCSI optical disc driver (sr) did not allocate a sufficiently large buffer for sense data. A user with access to a SCSI optical disc device that can produce more than 64 bytes of sense data could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption), and possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2018-12233

Shankara Pailoor reported that a crafted JFS filesystem image could trigger a denial of service (memory corruption). This could possibly also be used for privilege escalation.

CVE-2018-1000204

The syzbot software found that the SCSI generic driver (sg) would in some circumstances allow reading data from uninitialised buffers, which could include sensitive information from the kernel or other tasks. However, only privileged users with the CAP_SYS_ADMIN or CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability were allowed to do this, so this has little or no security impact.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 4.9.110-1~deb8u1. This update additionally fixes Debian bugs #860900, #872907, #892057, #896775, #897590, and #898137; and includes many more bug fixes from stable updates 4.9.89-4.9.110 inclusive.

We recommend that you upgrade your linux-4.9 packages.
